Reviews (3.7 out of 5 Grommets)

Excellent product!

It's a little pricey, but so worth it. A bit bigger water reservoir would have made it better.

Yes! Cold Air!

This thing works great! You have to sit right by it but it is a "personal" air cooler. My kid uses it in the dorm and it makes the heat tolerable for sleeping.

It works!

We bought this for my husband’s office. The sun shines directly into his window, heats it up and he’s miserable during warm months. This unit works great, lowering the temp to comfortable levels. He’s thrilled.

Works well for small areas

This air cooler has made it possible for me to concentrate again. It sits on a shelf just next to my computer and cools off my desk area. During our last heat wave, I put it on my night stand and I was able to cool down enough to sleep. My temperature is warmer than my partner's so I am able to cool down without any complaints from him. It will not cool a room down but works amazingly well as a personal cooler, as described.

It works!!

The area covered is small - definitely a one person machine. So it will not cool a large area - you do have to just sit in front of it. This past weekend we had record breaking heat - as in 111F outside, 99 inside. I just sat in front of this little gismo and the cool air was a lifesaver. It took about 12 - 15 degrees out of the air and that made a difference. And it is kind of a cool little thing - with fun stuff like being about to change the color of the reservoir.

Effective Cooling on Computer Desk

Very please with the cooling effect. Had a problem when water was accidentally spilled onto the main button but was immediately replaced by customer service. Spilled water caused the display button to fail(would not light up) even though the unit continued to work just fine.

Works as advertised

This does work as advertised. Need to keep a look at the amount of water in the tank if you are using it for a longer period of time.

Doesn’t cool much area

7/26/2018byTracy

I purchased this to cool a small bedroom, particularly the bed. Turns out it would work better cooling someone at a desk if placed directly on the desk. Instead of returning it, I do have it on my night stand cooling and being a humidifier preventing dry air for me. It goes thru the water you add fairly rapidly but prevents the air by it from being dry. I like the light as a night light and the option to shut it off. It’s actually a bit costly for what it claims to do.

Not for folks with sensitive noses

7/26/2019bychris

This cooled down my personal space just as promised. However, it also has a noxious, chemical smell that made me ill. I ran it for a few days, thinking that the smell might diminish, but it didn't. Don't get this device if you're chemically sensitive. Also, it leaked out the bottom, despite the fact that I kept it on a flat surface. Customer service was good about giving me a refund, though.

Not What I expected

I ordered this to put next to my bed. However, i found that the air was not that cold or forceful. The unit hum is very loud and disturbing. I wish it worked better. I returned my unit.

The Evapolar Story

Cool Off

Evapolar is a personal evaporative cooler that combines the portability of a fan with the cooling power of an air conditioner. And it has the moisture-boosting benefits of a humidifier, too.

The built-in water reservoir saturates a basalt filter (made from igneous rock and glass), creating the cool evaporation. A fan helps circulate that fresh, moist air up to about 45 square feet around you—perfect for a desktop or small room.

Biodegradable basalt is a natural material that filters dust from the air, and it prevents mold and bacteria from growing inside the unit. That makes the cool air cleaner.

Eugene Dubovoy and Vladimir Levitin were looking for a better way to beat the heat at work. They based Evapolar on the same system used in the Russian subway, and gave it a scaled-down, eco-friendly design. You can even charge the device via USB to create the perfect personal climate just about anywhere.Read MoreRead Less
